Definition

A very small change in the strength of a magnetic field or a short period of pulsation.

Example

The scientists measured the micropulsation of the Earth's magnetic field during the experiment.

Conversation

Have you ever heard about micropulsation in physics?

Yeah, I think it's related to small changes in magnetic fields, right?

Exactly! It's fascinating how such tiny changes can have effects.

Totally! It's amazing how much we still have to learn about these things.

Root Explanation

Micropulsation → It is formed from "micro-" (from Greek "mikros", meaning small) and "pulsation" (from Latin "pulsare", meaning to beat or to push). The word refers to a small or minute beating or movement, often used in scientific contexts to describe tiny oscillations or vibrations.

Memory Tip

Think of 'small' ('micro-') movements or 'beats' ('pulsation') to remember that micropulsation refers to tiny oscillations.
